As Magnus noted, you can use JSON instead of JSONB. JSON is basically a text blob with a syntax check wrapper around
it,so it will be order-stable once created. (If you run it through a JSONB-expecting function, then the ordering may
changeagain.) It's less efficient to operate on than JSONB, but that might be OK for your purposes.
